Ravage Road

After the new update (28.10.2023) this is now one of my favorite TDs. The update fixes the lag problem, adds a new tower and a lot of balance changes. Clear recommendation if you like TDs :)

땅만들고 몬스터 배치하고 (매일 업데이트되지는 않으며, 작성자가 원할 때마다 업데이트됩니다.) [1일차] 매 턴마다 랜덤한 땅이 주어져서 이를 배치하여야 합니다. 땅에는 길이 존재하며 이 길의 끝에서 적들이 등장해 탑을 향해 접근해 오죠. 탑에 접근하게 되면 체력이 1 감소하게 되며, 모든 체력을 잃으면 포션으로 회복이 가능하고 포션을 모두 사용한 뒤에 체력이 0이 되면 그대로 게임 오버가 되어버리죠. 적들을 막기 위해서는 몬스터 타워를 배치하여야 합니다. 몬스터를 배치하기 위해서는 골드가 필요하며 적들을 처치하면서 획득할 수 있죠. 배치된 몬스터는 범위 내로 적이 진입하면 자동으로 공격을 하며 공격마다 일정 쿨타임이 존재합니다. 땅과 몬스터의 배치는 동일한 턴에 진행되며, 땅은 무조건 배치하여야만 자신의 턴을 종료할 수 있습니다. 또한, 땅에 랜덤한 상인이 존재할 수 있으며, 이들을 통해서 랜덤하게 새로운 몬스터를 구매하거나 몬스터에게 버프를 부여하는 것도 가능하죠. 웨이브의 진행에 따라서 새로운 적이 등장하고 기존의 적들이 강해집니다. 그 중에 크라운을 쓴 적이 등장하기도 하며 이를 처치해내면 크라운을 획득할 수 있죠. 스킬 트리에서 이 크라운을 소모하여 다양한 상인이나 땅 카드 수량 증가 등의 능력을 활성화할 수 있습니다. [아쉬운 점] -땅카드의 배치에 제한이 없다보니 입구를 막아버린 다음 턴에 다른 땅을 배치하지 못하는 상황이 발생함 -위의 상황 등에서 전투를 강제로 포기할 수 밖에 없음 -소요되는 시간과 노력에 비해서 스킬 트리를 위한 크라운 1개 획득 효율이 너무 낮음 -맵 확대/축소 없음 -카드의 능력 확인 불가 (대미지가 몇인지, 공격 속도는 얼마인지, 능력은 뭔지) -업그레이드 등에서 얼마가 필요한지 안내가 없음 -적들의 종류보다 다양하지 못한 몬스터의 종류 -게임 오버 후 재시작 시, 버그걸려서 진행 못함 -보상이 너무 적음 (웨이브 클리어 보상 없음, 적의 종류에 상관없이 처치로 얻는 1골드말곤 없음) -밸런스 이게 최선인가

Very fun little game. I highly recommend it if you're into TD. Big improvements in terms of late-game latency with the latest patch as well.

I wanted to like this game, I really did. When playing I originally thought that is was a cute, nice, pixel TD game, and it kind of is but being blunt it plays like a phone game. The upgrades are limited, the land cards are frustrating and there are inconsistencies and limitations with cards and their descriptions. At several points I assumed I was not using cards correctly, but even down to the Ork being capable of AOE damage, it really felt like a stronger goblin (a single shot, low damage unit) and I thought if I played and upgraded myskill tree that this would fix itself and gradually get easier as I figure out strategy along while I play. This was wrong. The land cards: I have only played to obtaining both swamp and mountain and they are so weak that the punishment for them is not worth it. I was praying every draw I'd get plains cards because mountain ranges were manipulating my strategy and swamps were also limiting my placement. These cards slow down other units and, yest they do, but I am not dealing the damage required to keep me alive more than I would having 5/6 towers on the same square. Waves: At a random point the game just increases its difficulty. This isn't gradual and it isn't a boss wave. It does this within the 30th to 40th wave. I then noticed that this is common through the whole game that randomly waves would pick up with incredible difficulty. I was ether prepared or not prepared but again this ultimately came down to the land tiles I could play, esspecially after figuring out that the towers attack the closest unit to the castle. If I could give words to the devs Id ask for, more towers, individual skill trees for the towers, enemies used to increase difficulty rather than quantity. I think this would be a good start. This is just shy of a positive review and all it needs is a tune up and some care for a year or 2 and I could see it being better. Other than this. Great job, I know making games is difficult and I still had fun at some point. EDIT: I managed to beat the game, not through skill, but RNG of obtaining markets and sacrafic locations and got my way to a dragon. EVEN with the dragon I can still see, though not really affected by, the random increase in difficulty.

Yeah, the whole "You have to beat a boss to get any progression" is just a bad idea. It's not even that it's unfair, overly hard, or anything like that, it's just slow and unfun to start. maybe the game gets better as you unlock more stuff but having that all be locked behind such a slow, unrewarding experience is not a good look.

Update. Played through again. Still unplayable at the later levels because of the tinkerer. Made it to wave 99 and avoided using bugbears. I really want to like this game and will probably give them one more patch before I give up. There is a lot of potential. Also realizing the money isnt really balanced for higher levels either. Great Potential, this game has so much potential, great art style, interesting tech tree with rogue like mechanics. But the unit the Tinker has broken the game and ruined the experience completely for me. It feels like this was done to make it more challenging, as there are no rewards and way too many spawns it simply makes it not fun to me and completely unplayable in the later levels. The first time I got past wave 60 was my last experience and I have waited a few days to post this in hopes of calming down. The unit which spans a perpetual wave minions at a pretty high rate slows the game down to unplayable levels in my experience. By wave 80 there were soo many I could no longer fast forward I gave up using the fireball spell at 86 after the center of my screen turned white using it and remained white for the rest of the game. As you don't get crowns when you quit the sweet sweet release of death finaly came at wave 96. The game was also operating as at really slow rate so getting from 86-95 took about 3 hours of leaving it on and adding a tile at the end of the level. If this unit could be turned on or off or somehow kept out of the core gameplay I would recomend this game to any Tower Defense rouge player in a heartbeat but as of now my experince was that it quickly becomes unplayable due to one unit.

Ich kann gar nicht genug Gutes über „Ravage Road“ sagen! Dieses Spiel hat meine Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht übertroffen und mich von der ersten Minute an gefesselt. Dank einer Kombination aus Towerdefense & Roguelite-"Deckbuilding", macht es für mich zu einem absoluten "Must-Play". Ihr seid der böse Lord im Turm und ♥♥♥♥ natürlich kommen Helden und wollen euch vertreiben. Ihr baut VErteidigungen auf, legt die neuen Wege an und verbessert eure Truppen, um die gegnerischen Wellen abzuwehren! Mit jedem erfolgreichen run, bzw Boss, den ihr besiegt gibt es "Kronen" um weitere Goodies vom Tech-Tree freizuschalten und somit effektiv seine Strategie verbessern zu können. Die Spielmechanik ist unglaublich einfach, was das Eintauchen in die Welt von Ravage Road wesentlich erleichtert. Die Steuerung ist präzise, sodass man sich ganz auf die spannenden Herausforderungen aka Gegnerwellen, konzentrieren kann. Jeder Lauf ist, dank der random Bodenteilen immer verschieden aufbaut & kreativ gestaltet. Es bieten sich eine Vielzahl von Umgebungen, mit unterschiedlichen Effekten, welche man taktiksch spielerisch einsetzen muss, um seine Abwehr durchzuplanen. Die Gegner sind gut ausgearbeitet und im Laufe des Spiels finden sich eine große Variation von ihnen, was eine starke Herausforderung sein kann. Hier muss man erstmal die kleine Lernkurve als Spieler überwinden. Die Soundeffekte und die musikalische Untermalung tragen ebenfalls zur fantastischen Atmosphäre bei. Ein weiteres Highlight sind die zahlreichen Updates im Techtree die man freispielen kann. Diverse Upgrades oder Vorteile, um im "Run" auch weiterzukommen. Es macht mir riesigen Spaß, die eigenen Strategien zu entwickeln und das Gameplay nach den eigenen Vorlieben zu gestalten. Es gab ab und an leider ein paar technische Fehler & Bugs, aber keine die für mich das game an sich unspielbar machten. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass „Ravage Road“ für mich ein herausragendes Spiel ist, das sowohl Gelegenheitsspieler als auch Hardcore-Gamer begeistern wird. Es bietet stundenlangen Spielspaß, spannende Herausforderungen für kleines Geld. Mich hat es wirklcih positiv überrascht und ich werde mehr Zeit in dieser fantastischen Welt verbringen, um ein paar cheevos zu jagen!

+Some player choice +Aesthetics are pretty neat -Music doesn't work for me -Game felt too simple -Roguelite-mechanics made this one feel like a chore, my main issue = Disappointing. Neutral review though. I wouldn't recommend this for myself so I won't do it you either.

Nice game and all, but its not polished enough for a full release. The later stages feel like a slideshow and the endless mode is basically unplayable. there are better TD game out there for a lower price

This is really fun and addictive game.
